Oscars 2025 Snubs Spark Major Internet Outrage

The recent Oscar nominations have sparked a wave of reactions, especially surrounding the film "Challengers," which received no nods despite its critical acclaim. Fans voiced their frustrations on social media, particularly regarding the lack of recognition for the film’s exceptional original score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. "Challengers" emerged as a standout during the awards season, winning Best Original Score at the Golden Globe Awards but failing to secure any nominations for the Oscars. This led to discussions about the movie's musical contributions and the credibility of the Academy's selections. Other films, such as “Dune: Part Two,” also faced notable snubs, raising questions about the Academy's voting process.

"Challengers" was snubbed likely due to the Academy's unpredictable voting patterns, which can overlook critically acclaimed films and performances, even when they achieve success in other award shows.

"Challengers" is a sports drama starring Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach entangled in a complex love triangle with her husband and ex-boyfriend. The film has received positive reviews for its dynamic storytelling and character development, ranking among the best of 2024. The emotional depth combined with its vibrant score led many to believe it was a strong contender for awards recognition, making the absence of nominations feel particularly surprising to audiences and critics alike.
